Since moving into our home 4 years ago our kitchen had been a pretty much a building site which was bodged together from various bits of cabinets and odd worktops, so we had a big job on our hands to get it looking perfect. We were working to a budget so the worktops would be the most important finishing touch. We were contemplating having either granite, wood, bamboo or Corian, all looked great but were either not too practical or too expensive in the end. After finally a lot of searching online for quality worktops and visiting various kitchen showrooms we decided to pop into Stone Arts which was handily not too far away from home. Straight aways Rak made us feel very welcome and at ease, we were mightily impressed by the quality and value of the worktops on offer. After chatting with Rak he immediately understood what we look we wanted to achieve in the kitchen and we decided to go for the Star Galaxy granite. The Star Galaxy was truly beautiful and had amazing depth that was missing from the other worktops we looked at previously, there was a bit of sparkle but subtle enough to make it not too 'blingy'. Rak's product knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for his job is brilliant, there was no hard sale from Rak and we decided right there and then Stone Arts was the place to spend our hard earned cash for the perfect finishing touch on our kitchen. The whole ordering process was nice and easy and then templating soon followed. We were due to go on holiday shortly after and Rak scheduled us in for fitting just after we returned so we could crack on with the plumbing. The big day came and Rak and Courtney did a sterling job of quickly and tidily installing the worktops to perfection, this is massively impressive considering the weight of the tops! Once polished you could really appreciate the quality of the granite, in the sunlight it looks dazzling. As a favour Rak also cut a smaller piece of matching stone to use as a base for the countersunk fireplace which was a perfect finishing touch! If you're looking for a new worktop I cannot recommend Rak and Stone Arts highly enough. Although there are cheaper options out there you don't always get the quality product and tip-top service. If you want perfection at a good price go to Stone Arts. Thanks again. Kristan & Jane Harefield, Southampton. read more

After looking around various companies for granite worktops and window cills we decided to go with Stone Arts Southampton and chose Star Galaxy granite. Right from the start Rak was very professional yet friendly guiding us through our choices and options. Even though the worktops had some very intricate curves, these were produced without any issues or delays. The granite was ready ahead of schedule and fitted entirely at our convenience. On the fitting day Rak and his team arrived on time and were courteous, effcient and worked very cleanly. The end result was our kitchen looking fantastic with the worktops being the centre piece of the room. I would highly recommend Stone Arts to anybody looking for a professional, reasonably priced job that produces beautiful results. Colin and Angie, Upper Shirley, Southampton read more

We were recommend Stone Arts by a family member and were very impressed with the service and quality of granite. When we initially went to the show room we met with Rak, his passion for his work is impressive and he helped us choose the best granite for us. Rak explained the whole process and we agreed what dates we would need the granite. I am pleased to say that he was very reliable and tuned up when agreed, the granite is fitted and looks amazing! We would really recommend Stone Arts to anyone, when we were shopping around they stood out from other companies with the passion for doing a good job and for using the best quality granite, they were also the most competitive on price!

My wife and I have just replaced our kitchen. As we were looking around at the various types we decided to have the work tops in Granite.

Just picked up a 560mm x 440mm x 30mm slab of sparling galaxy granite to use as a plymph for a home theatre subwoofer. The shop was very quick in its reply to my email query and equally speedy in getting the product ready. The stone looks and feels top notch. Polished very well, all sides but the bottom were done exceptionally. (worth noting is that although the bottom will never be exposed and seen, it was very smoothly cut as well.) Best bit was that the price was £25 - £40 cheaper than other local quotes I've received. Definitely recommend! read more

We recently had our kitchen completely replaced, and wanted to set the whole thing off with top quality worktops. We tried a few suppliers, but were confident that Stone Arts could deliver what we wanted. Rak allowed us to go through a number of colour choices before we settled on absolute black, which, against the oak floor and green unit, was the best choice. The templating, production and installation were handled well, and we are very pleased with the results! location, Southampton) read more
